Company A buys Company B which owns Company C, I work for Company C as Tier 2, what should I do ?

My company is bought by another company, I was about to apply for tier 2 ilr on 1st July, but now even though based on the way company is sold my existing company's license will remain there but you never know....

My 10 years will be completed on 1st May, I don't know what to do

If I go 10 years route if I get ilr, does my wife needs to apply for visa again as she only here for 3.5 years as dependent..

All so confusing not sure what to do

Congralutaions.

I have same problem.

My company is bought by another company, I was about to apply for tier 2 ilr on 1st July, but now even though based on the way company is sold my existing company's license will remain there but you never know....

if you apply settlement through 10 year route, your wife has to switch to spouse visa with settled person, and 3.5year as PBS dependent would be erased and clock reset, and need the other 5 years.

but if you can go through 5 year PBS route, then your wife can renew her PBS dependent visa and applies ILR through PBS dependent route, once she fulfills 5 years as PBS dependent.

I don't know the rule if the license can be transferred to new company, may go to Tier 2 forum to ask.

I just figured out Company A don't have sponsor license.

Please someone guide me in right direction, so sad.

Read this https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... l_v1.0.pdf
start from page 59 and also check annex 8

Thank you so much...

I went through all suggested documentation and after discussion with relevant people. I can confirm this scenario looks most similiar.



Saying that, buyer Company G said changes will be there but they will be injected slowly, might take few months to a year. They are not really clear about it as THEY say they need to ANALYSE what's best for them.

Now what steps should I follow, should I ask them for confirmation that my job responsibilities will remain same etc.. or ask them for a SUPPORTING LETTER.

I am so so confused, did anyone went through similar scenario, I want to go for one day appointment but would that be risky ?

Gurus thank you for your time.

The fact that your sponsor was taken over by another company doesn't mean you cannot continue to work for them, there are conditions to meet. I know it could be tricky sometimes. Find out if the company that bought your sponsor has Tier 2 sponsorship licence and if you will be transferred under TUPE. Read page 59 and Annex 8 of this document https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... l_v1.0.pdf
You will likely find your answer there.

Your sponsor needs to notify UKVI through the SMS and explain clearly what has happened. If the example you cited is similar to your situation, then your sponsor will retain their licence and you can go ahead with your application. It is important that they explain their structure and nature of work as well as yours will not be affected by the acquisition. I have not gone through a similar situation and maybe others who have experienced it will add more to the comment. The first place to start from is by notifying the UKVI and then wait for further instruction from them after they have assessed your situation. Your sponsor will do the notification, you have nothing to do about it.

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Company C's HR will notify HO next week, and then I guess I will have to wait and hope nothing changes until I get my ILR.

Yes

Did anyone ever received ILR while company was taken over or merged with another parent company on Tier 2 ?

If yes could you please provide some details e.g. did you added any supporting letter from parent company who bought your company etc..

Many Thanks
